Some Doctor Who news, just in case anybody hasn't heard.
Firstly, Former show runner Steven Moffatt is coming back to write an episode for the up coming series.
Secondly and controversially, the upcoming series will air on the 11th of May, 2 episodes will be available at midnight on iplayer, at the same time it will stream globally on Disney to coincide with prime time in the USA. The 2 episodes will then be shown on BBC1 on Saturday evening, after that 1 episode a week will be shown.
When I say Moffatt is coming back, what I should have said is , he has already written the episode, I think its the 3rd ep of the upcoming service,

We have a pair of pigeons nesting in a tree at the front, they have done so for about the last four years. This time of year they start fixing up the nest for spring, as they are building it the magpies come along and nick bits of it.
A similar thing happens here, there's a Crows nest in a tree at the front of our house, they've nested there for years, every year they add to the nest but you regularly see the Crow fly in with a twig then fly off again only for the Magpie to fly in and steal it.

Are magpies taking over the world, we have four regularly in the front garden, used to see the odd one. Now noticed everywhere we go magpies are around.
Growing up in the 1970s, you never saw Wood Pigeons in town, you only saw Magpies, Crows and the odd Rook in town very early in the morning, when nobody was about, Nowadays, here in Fev, we have Wood Pigeons, Magpies and Crows in the garden all the time, although I haven't seen a Rook locally for years.

We have put a camera in the bird box this year. It is really interesting watching the bluetit coming and going. Every night it returns to the box to sleep, there isn't a nest it just fluffs up and goes to sleep.
We have a lot of knocking on the bottom of the box. I assume this is to attract the mate. It brings in bits of nesting material then seems to throw a hissy fit and throws it all out again.
We have seen 2 birds in the box at the same time but only one sleeps over night, arriving shortly before sunset.
I've had the same bird box up for about 15 years and greattits have nested in it every year, I haven't seen them building yet but they are very active in and around the box.

We haven't played Catalans in a while, we are surely due a Challenge cup tie against them, probably away.

Yeah he did ,Aaron barged over near line if i remember correctly.
I think it was Tim Sharpe who made a break from halfway, he got about 10mtr from the line and passed it inside but the ball went to ground, Palelei picked it up and marched to the line with Steadman and 2 other players trying to stop him. The other try was scored by Iva Ropati who slid in at the corner from about 10mtre out, it probably was nowhere near 10mtre but he seemed to slide forever.
We beat Cas 3 times out of 4 that season with the other match being a draw, happy days.

I've done the research and found that England last played Finland in 2001 so it certainly has been a while. We also last played Ireland in a competitive fixture right back in 1991.
I think that was in the 2002 World Cup qualifying group, we'd just lost at home to Germany 1-0, Keegan resigned after the match and Howard Wilkinson was put in charge as caretaker manager for the away game in Finland. I think we scraped a 0-0 draw.

none of which would get a gig in the modern premier league - the Scottish ones would be playing for Hibernian and the rest would be struggling to make the championship in the current era - sorry but its a FACT
You could literally say that about any athlete from any sport, for example, could you see Rod Laver competing with todays top tennis players.
It doesn't diminish their greatness .

Someones had a brainstorm writing the latest episode of Silent Witness .. First Jack suddenly taking up cage fighting ( as if ) , and casting John Thompson as a London detective , with possibly the worst accent since Dick Van Dyke .
I haven't caught up with this weeks ep but Jacks always been into cage fighting.

gone with the wind , lawrence of arabia....both too long , close encounters ....richard dreyfuss too annoying , e.t. , started to watch it a couple of times and knocked it off.
Close Encounters is a great film, I do get your point about Drefuss though, when watching Jaws I think I was one of the few people that wanted the shark to eat him,

I watched Escape to Victory for the 1000th time, a proper feel good movie, it had me wandering, who would star in a modern version. They'd probably reel Beckham out.

I thought Shakin Stevens had started this thread.
Anyway, Merry Christmas

Hope this helps: www.explainthatstuff.com/television.html
On the topic of BBCSPotY, I treat it the same as all the other similar awards progs in that I don't watch it. I pay my licence fee to listen and watch ad-free (well ad-free apart from BBC's own ads) to all the other stuff that interests me (MotD, Two Doors Down, Vigil, Killing Eve, The Repair Shop, the Challenge Cup games, BBC Sounds R4X and various podcasts, JAzz Record Requests, Counterpoint, Brain of Britain, Mastermind, 606 etc etc etc). Happy to let BBCSPotY strut its stuff.
But besides all that, what has the BBC ever done for us.

I think I am a member of the viewing public who counts in the figures? no?
One person can't demand a TV show is cancelled, especially one that doesn't watch it.

Anyway I have no problem with Earps winning but personally, I don't think anybody who participates in a team sport unless the do something extra extra ordinary, I personally voted for KJT.
Another thing, its criminal that yet again Djokovic hasn't won overseas personality, same with Serena Williams, I mean Haaland, he scored a lot of goals in a team that created a lot of chances for him.
I've just realised that Djokovic has won it but my point stands with Williams.

I thought shows got cancelled due to poor ratings? poor ratings because the public don't like them? how does tv work then?
They do but not because Graveyard Johnny doesn't like them.

still dont have any insight to his personality - maybe it should just be called sports person of the year or maybe just scrapped altogether - its worn out just like QOS
As you well know, the award has nothing to do with personality, its to do with achievement and should a TV show be cancelled because you don't like it, TV doesn't work like that.
